New Government reforms into the cost of adult social care are expected to leave Nottinghamshire County Council with a budget black hole of almost £33 million.
The authority is raising concerns directly with the Government about the impact on its finances, saying funding support from Whitehall is unlikely to be “sufficient” to meet the reform’s objectives.
The wide-ranging reforms, due to be brought in from next year, include an £86,000 cap on the cost of social care during anyone’s lifetime.
